ImportError: No module named 'display'

Question

I am using Selenium for webscraping

I want to hide the browser that open while Selinium makes request. I have just installed PyVirtualDisplay-0.1.5. I am running Windows 8.1

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()

I am getting this error.

ImportError: No module named 'display'

pyvirtualdisplay requires Xvfb to work. It is not available for Windows, because there is no X server.

Ok I get it... actually I will then run my code on Amazon Cloud machines ... will I be able to turn off browser there? – Nov 24 '14 at 16:57
@Mani, yes, if you use Linux – Corey Goldberg Nov 24 '14 at 17:03
